An immigration permit to Ukraine may be granted either within the immigration quota or outside the quota.

The immigration quota is the maximum number of foreigners and stateless persons established annually by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine who may be granted an immigration permit under specific categories during one calendar year. Accordingly, applications submitted by persons belonging to quota categories are considered subject to the availability of places within the established quota. At the same time, immigration permits outside the quota are granted to specific categories of persons defined by the legislation of Ukraine, for whom no numerical limits apply; therefore, the consideration of their applications does not depend on the annually established quota.

Grounds for granting an immigration permit within the quota category:

1. Figures in science and culture whose immigration is in the interest of Ukraine;

2. Highly qualified specialists and workers whose skills are critically needed for the Ukrainian economy, as well as their spouses and children under 18, provided they enter and reside in Ukraine together;
